SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,104, dated April 1, 1884.

Application filed December 3, 1883. (ModeL) I To all whom it mag concern:

Be it known thatI, NANNETTE AMIA, of Brooklyn, in the county of, Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and 5 useful Improvements in Supporting-Belts for Absorptive Pads, of which the following'is a full, clear, and exact description.

- Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, and which is a perspective view of my impad. g

The object of this invention is to provide a convenient and reliable means for supporting an absorptive pad.

The invention consists in a supporting-belt for absorptive pads, constructed with a piece of webbing. having a buckle at each end, a piece of elastic webbing buckled into the said buckles, and elastic hangers having end loops to receive the webbings, and provided with loose sliding rings to receive the strings of an absorptive pad, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

A represents a piece of non-elastic webbing of a less length than the circumference of the body, and provided with a buckle, B, near each end, the ends of the webbing projecting past the buckles, to prevent the said buckles from coming in contact with the body.

40 strings G of an. absorptive pad, H. With this construction the absorptive pad will be held in place securely, andat the same time the supporting-belt can yield to accommodate it-- self to the movements of thewearers body.

5 With this construction, also, by moving the loops E of each. elastic hanger D nearer togeth er or farther apart, the said hangers will be lengthened or shortened, as may be re: quired. Another advantage of this construction isthatthe belt can be lengthened and shortened without affecting the relative positions of the hangers, which is not the case when the hangers are permanently attached to the belt.

This improvement is especially designed for use with the fibrous absorptive pad for which Letters Patent No. 271,625 were granted to Darius Goff, February 6, 1883.

' I am aware that a support for absorptive pads has been heretofore constructed in which the belt has a buckle at each end and a piece of elastic webbing connected to said buckles, hangers being secured to said belt and web: bing, to the lower ends of which hangers are secured buckles for engaging the elastic straps of the pads; also, that a support has been made consisting of two triangular pieces, two elastic straps, two buckles, and two elastic rings secured at the ends of said triangular.

pieces for receiving the ends of the pad also, that an elastic belt has been provided with a fixed inelastic supporting front piece and a movable elastic back piece connected to said belt, the pad being buttoned to the ends of said back and front pieces.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A supporting-belt for absorptive pads, con-.
